To Hold CWC Polls or Not: Cong Dilemma Over Major Decision Reflects Unease of Gandhi Loyalists

News 18  

It is not an easy decision for the Congress to go in for elections for its top decision making body, which is the Congress Working Committee or the CWC. Over the years, the CWC has become a yes-man body usually toeing the line followed by the Congress president – which meant following the Gandhis, till recently. Despite a non-Gandhi as president, it is still senior party leader Rahul Gandhi who towers over party affairs, especially after the Bharat Jodo Yatra. While the right noise is being made in favour of the polls, those who are Gandhi loyalists fear that a president with real power through the CWC being filled with his loyalists could overshadow the power of the Gandhis. Also, while the Gandhis can become lifetime members of the CWC by virtue of being former presidents, the issue is how to accommodate Priyanka Gandhi Vadra without holding the polls.
